GOP Sen.-elect Dave McCormick holds a 26,000 vote lead over Sen. Bob Casey in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

Pennsylvania 's high court has ruled that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results.

Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order.

Democrats insist they are acting in good faith in believing rejecting someone's vote because of a clerical error violates their constitutional rights.

Casey participated in official Senate business and cast votes on the floor while McCormick attended new member orientation and met with other members of the new Republican majority to vote for conference leadership. Fox News Digital's Charles Creitz and The Associated Press contributed to this report..
